Littelfuse 14-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode Array 16-Pin PDIP SP720APP

Littelfuse SP720APP is a 14-element bi-directional TVS diode array provided in a 16-pin PDIP through-hole package, designed to safeguard sensitive electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and transient over-voltages. The array comprises dual SCR/Diode bipolar structures per input line, enabling protection of up to 14 external signal or bus lines simultaneously.

This device clamps voltage spikes by activating SCR structures rapidly at voltage thresholds one diode drop above or below supply rails (V+ and V-). It effectively blocks transient voltages exceeding its maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 30V, with a peak pulse current rating of 2A to handle surges efficiently. Its low maximum reverse leakage current of 20nA helps maintain low power dissipation during normal operation.

The robust design supports operation within a wide temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial electronics environments. The 16-pin PDIP package dimensions are 19.68mm in length, 7.11mm in width, and 4.95mm in height, offering compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Contains 14 SCR/Diode bipolar protection elements for bi-directional transient suppression. Rated for maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 30V and peak pulse current of 2A. Through-hole PDIP package with 16 pins enables easy PCB mounting.

Operates reliably between -40°C and 105°C ambient temperatures. Low reverse leakage current of 20nA for energy efficiency. Designed for fast triggering to clamp voltage spikes and protect sensitive circuit inputs. Applicable in industrial, laboratory, communications, and power supply applications.

Compact form factor facilitates integration in various electronic designs.

This TVS Diode Array is widely used in electronics manufacturing, repair, and design to ensure robust protection against electrical overstress conditions. Its reliable performance makes it ideal for industrial power lines, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics (non-automotive certified), and sensitive laboratory instrumentation protection.
